Taylor Swift - Nothing New [Taylor's Version] [From the Vault]

They tell you while you’re young

Girls, go out and have your fun

Then they hunt and slay the ones

Who actually do it

Criticize the way you fly

When you’re soaring through the sky

Shoot you down and then they sigh

And say, “She looks like she’s been through it”

Lord what will become of me

Once I’ve lost my novelty

I’ve had too much to drink tonight

And I know it’s sad but this is what I think about

And I wake up in the middle of the night

It’s like I can feel time moving

How can a person know everything at 18

But nothing at 22?

And will you still want me

When I’m nothing new?

How long will it be cute

All this crying in my room

When you can’t blame it on my youth

And roll your eyes with affection

And my cheeks are growing tired

From turning red and faking smiles

Are we only biding time till I lose your attention?

And someone else lights up the room

People love an ingénue

I’ve had too much to drink tonight

How did I go from growing up to breaking down?

And I wake up in the middle of the night

It’s like I can feel time moving

How can a person know everything at 18

But nothing at 22?

And will you still want me

When I’m nothing new?

I know someday I’m gonna meet her

It’s a fever dream

The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen

She’ll know the way and then she’ll say she got the map from me

I’ll say I’m happy for her then I’ll cry myself to sleep

I’ve had too much to drink tonight

But I wonder if they’ll miss me once they drive me out

I wake up in the middle of the night

And I can feel time moving

How can a person know everything at 18

But nothing at 22?

And will you still want me

Will you still want me

Will you still want me

When I’m nothing new?
